Thanks for the reviews people! Keep 'em coming! This is probably only going
to be short and you'll see why at the end. I've already written the ending
for this but if you have any ideas for the middle please tell me in your
review. Thanks!

"Well?"
"Of course she loves me. And we can get through this. Now if you don't mind.?" Peter pointed to the door. His message was clear. Fr Mac looked at him and saw himself 20 years earlier.
"I'm always here you know" he told the young priest, " if you need to talk"
Peter didn't know what to say. He just stood there as the elderly priest walked out. He was still stood there when Assumpta walked toward him a few minutes later.
"Morning" she said, "I'd say good but."
Peter looked at her. "I wish you'd stop blaming yourself for this. It was an accident that's all"
"I wish" was all she said
~~~~~~~~~
Later on she went up to Peter and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
"Niamh wants to talk to you"
Peter looked at her blankly until she added
"It's about Padraig's funeral"
Peter wished she hadn't said those words. He knew Niamh would want him to do the funeral, he just didn't think he could. He had believed in God all his life but never had he believed him to be as cruel as he had been lately. He had taken a life, a man with a teenage son and more friends than he could count and just taken it without any consideration for anything or anyone else. Peter had been watching Assumpta over the last few days and he knew that no God he had ever believed in could cause that much grief to one person. He knew Assumpta was hardly the epitaph of modern Christianity but he didn't think she deserved this much pain.
"Peter?"
He was jolted from his hatred by Assumpta's sweet voice in his ear. "Niamh's still waiting for you. She's up at St Josephs."
Peter jumped up and gave Assumpta a quick hug before jogging up to St Josephs.
While Peter was away Assumpta took the chance to clean the bar. She grabbed the cloth and was walking to the far side of the bar when she glanced at the cellar door. Her heart missed a beat as she thought of what had happened down there. She was lost in her own thoughts for a moment. She smiled sadly remembering Padraig. Just then the door opened.
"We're closed" she said without looking up
"I know" said Kevin, "I just need to talk"
Authors Note - this is an extremely short chapter but it's really only here to give Assumpta a chance to talk to Kevin. What will she say to him? Find out next week (possibly) Thanks for reading please review and tell me if u have any ideas!
